If a Chanel shoe and a Christian Louboutin shoe had a baby in the form of an espadrille, it would be this.
I was super jealous when I saw The Hills star Audrina Patridge wearing the Christian Louboutin chain espadrille on the red carpet of her 25th birthday party in Las Vegas. It's a spring/summer style staple. I want it and need to have it; however, it's completely out of the budget. A summer shoe for $650? Are you nuts?
Low and behold this replica from Bebe – the Thea Chain Espadrille for only $129; and it's hot!
PRODUCT DETAILS

-Chain accents on the ankle strap and toes
-Comes in black, white and tan
-Metallic stitching throughout the wedge with small buckle closure
-Cushioned insole; metallic sole.
-Heel height: 5.25" with a 1.25" platform
I also found an even cheaper version of the fabulous shoe on Spiegel.com for $64!
PRODUCT DETAILS
Chain Wedge Sandal, $64
-Sandal with chain link detail along the 5" wedge heel and along the straps
-Comes in black
-Leather-look

I just love it and knowing that it has a life span of a few months, spending $129 doesn't seem too harsh. $64? Even better. Patridge's little black tiered dress along with minimal accessories make the shoe look that much better. Simple, chic and something I actually can't wait to order!
